Guess what I found on the back of my pants?

When I returned home from my grocery shopping on Thursday I brushed my hand over the back of my pants and found this:

It’s some kind of plastic diamond sticker. I figure I probably sat on it when I had my coffee at the mall. I felt so stupid special. I’m sure most people at the mall would have thought I was starting a new trend.“Wow! there goes the lady who sticks plastic diamonds on her bum! I want to be just like her.”

Apart from this making me enormously popular, my week was interesting – so here are some titles:

Monday

A Spider Ate My Mouse (Horror) – What is happening in the small town of Rucville? A woman battles a hairy eight-legged force who takes up residence on her computer mouse. Does she finish her novel, or run screaming from the house to fight again another day?

Tuesday

Sleepless in the RUC (Action) – A local resident stands against teens who decide to try out their new four wheelers at all hours of the night. Can one man really scare off these jokers? You bet!

Wednesday

Water! (Drama) – When a tractor catches fire the driver decides to head straight for the RUC to find water. The lady of the house is not impressed (unfortunately I didn’t get photos).

Thursday

The Diamond Buttock (Comedy) – How long can one woman walk around with a diamond stuck to her bottom when she’s not Kim Kardashian? Will she ever be able to find the diamond’s rightful owner?

Thanks to those who played along last time I did my Week in Titles. Marsha Ingrao and Irishnana and (of course) the lovely boss-lady who inspired me, Jo (who doesn’t have a website so I can’t link here).

Before I sign off – I’ve changed my book covers for hard copy on Creatspace. Take a look on the right of the screen and let me know what you think ➡ ➡ ➡

I ran into another huge one last night, Jackie. I don’t ‘really’ mind them (I say with a bit of a cringe) but they have the habit of giving me a big fright (probably because they just appear out of nowhere!) lo :D.

Ah yes – Soul’s Child the ballerina. I really like that picture as well 😀
I remember my brother sat on a cup cake at the fair once and had to spend the rest of the day with a brown splotch on his pants – he wasn’t impressed! Give me a diamond any day 😀

I’m not sure what sound came out of my mouth when I first put my hand on the spider, Roy – but it didn’t sound human 😉
I’m so glad you like the Soul’s Child cover – I was pretty happy about it when I put it together.

What a great idea- each day of the week in title. I’ll have to use that sometime – can I ‘borrow’ it? 🙂 I think your book covers are amazing. A new designer? The one that stands out the most is SOUL’S CHILD. I like how they’re all designed similarly with the title and author name scrolled 3/4s of the way down.

Thanks Jill! It’s always fun thinking of these things (and I’m sure I giggle a lot when I’m writing them) 😀
I’m so glad you like the book covers – it was about time I did something to them to inspire me to finish the others I’m writing 😉

I think I’ve moved to the A grade Hollywood list with the diamond, Susan 😀
I’m so glad you like the covers. I was a bit hesitant to change them, but I had to go through them all word by word to put them on CreateSpace so I thought I may as well give their faces a bit of a lift while I was there xxx

I can certainly relate, Dianne! Well, except for the giant spider. Thank goodness we don’t have a lot of those in my neck of the woods. All your creatures are supersized compared to ours. 🙂

When my boys were little, they enjoyed putting stickers on my back in the ruse of giving me a hug (so I wouldn’t catch on). Then they’d see how long I’d walk around without realizing the sticker was on me. The answer turned out to be a very long time indeed!

Haaaaa! My kids used to do that as well, Carrie! They always had the knack of giving me a laugh. Then my daughter went through a stage of blowing raspberries (in the sound of passing wind) every time I bent over to pick something up (don’t tell your boys that because they’ll be onto it in a shot, even though they’re bigger now).
I hope you’re enjoying your blogging break, getting everything done and enjoying some ‘Carrie time’ xxxx

As well as changing the covers I went through them word by word to get them up on CreateSpace, Char – it was a lot of work, but really worth it (and it’s inspired me to get stuck into the half written novels I’ve got hanging around the place) – so I’m really glad you like the ‘new look’ 🙂

You’ve definitely had an exciting week! I wonder if any of the incidents were related – at least maybe the tractors out at all hours of the night and then the one catching on fire. Maybe it spontaneously combusted from any possible negative thoughts directed toward it. Sounds like it could be a book! Your covers look great!

What do you do when your tractor catches fire? You drive straight towards the nice wooden house! Haaa – I couldn’t believe he did that and I put that fire out within seconds, Sheila.
So glad you like the covers – one of my dreads is trying to get the cover of a book to look half decent 😀

I read your title Dianne and, knowing how many creepy critters live at your place, I was expecting a living thing to be on your pants. You can imagine my relief when I saw it was a pretty sticker. I like the cover of Wolf Pear.

Oh yes, I didn’t think of that – it could have been anything from a croc to a spider! Now that WOULD be scary 😀
Wolf Pear has always been the highest seller of all my books. I’m not sure why (if it’s the title or the subject matter), but it’s the hardest one to find a cover that suits it so I’m really glad you like it 🙂

Haaaaa! Thanks Dannie – I love ‘The diamond award’! My week got bigger on Saturday when large spider jumped onto my dinner plate. I got a photo, but I don’t know if anyone is going to like it. I sent it to a few friends and they screamed 😀

I changed the covers because I wanted to put hard copies on CreateSpace, but my computer broke last year and I lost all my work (including the pictures of the old covers). So it was a good excuse to download the books off the net in PDF and update them to Word (because I didn’t have electronic copies of those either) and update the covers. I feel whole again 😀

Well at least it was a diamond – could have been something much worse! 🙂
Love your week in Titles! I could only manage one:
Monday: Pumpkins Strike Back
When Halloween hits the country, small children are traumatised.

There are probably dozens of women who are now trying to find what brand of jeans have a pretty diamond motif on the bum. I know I’d be one of them. 🙂 Love your book titles, Dianne. The spider would have me running for the hills. 😯

What a funny and clever post. Sorry about the diamond sticker on your bum, but it did make me laugh. I wore my bathrobe to work under my coat one day. I took off my coat and there I was in the midst of a hundred cubicles in my blue bathrobe. Talk about mortifying! Ha ha.

Ha! You made me laugh with the diamond sticker business.😂 And, and I love your Weekly Titles concept; great way to come up with titles. The Wednesday title,”Water” sounds dangerous yet fascinating! Also well done with your new book covers, they really look good, especially Wolf Pear.

Well the funny u mentioned stars because last month we had a last minute get together for my hubs bday and he used a red star on his recent song cover – so when I was getting supplies they had a sale on a sheet of red glitter stars (plastic-y) and so when I gave everyone the bday quiz – I also put red stars on folks – cheesy – but all in good fun – well for days I found a stray red stars around the house – and saved one on the calendar!
Anyhow – your diamond made for a fun post – along with your titles!
